Your paranoia is almost comical

Just because everyone doesn't share your sudden onset of TT 'OMG-the-sky-is-faling-cuz-I-have-to-learn-something-new!'vilification does not mean they are management 'plants.'
Geez, you people never cease to amaze me. Not enough praise for the company a week ago, now nothing but spewing hatred and negativity and dreaming up conspiracy plots.
I hope everyone reading this thread doesn't assume all TT employees are nutters.
Instead of spending all of the time you COULD be spending learning VR on here whining, if you're this unhappy, at least be PROACTIVE and send out resumes or something. If you're no longer happy at TT because you now have to learn VR, then apply elsewhere. There's plenty of listings on the job board.
Just astounded at the paranoia and ugliness in this thread...

It's comical. Sounds like they really have their act together,

Not paranoia, has happened to me also
During the process, just so complimentary, so great to have you on board... after hire, treated like an unwanted stepchild... and degraded on the smallest of errors... think it is a regular routine.
Paranoia is my middle name...
I don't work for the company you're talking about, but in addition to Tech Support Guy's very valuable advice down below, I would add this thought:
If you are working as an independent contractor on equipment that you provide yourself, I would strongly encourage you to perform your WORK ONLY on a separate computer from your personal activities - emailing, websurfing, gaming, Netflix, whatever.
This will actually serve 2 very useful purposes:
1) You won't have to worry about accidentally wiping out your work computer (and means to earn your living) with a random virus caught via email.
2) You won't have to worry about your general contractor snooping around on your personal computer - they won't have access to it in any way, shape or form to start with!
Wal-Mart, Target, and other places are selling small netbook computers that still run Windows XP on them for under $400, and in some cases under $250. You can hook one of those up to a full size keyboard, and even a full size monitor if you can't work with an 8.9' screen.
Isn't peace of mind worth less than $400?
I don't understand the paranoia
.
Paranoia runs deep........

Here's something to raise your paranoia level even more... SM
How do you know that *spyware* hasn't ALREADY been sneaked into your PC when you installed WordScript or ROD for the first time? How do you know what really happens whenever you update your platform???
If Acusis -- or ANY OTHER MTSO -- wants to spy on you, they've already put the mechanism in place.
Here's a thought: Don't be doing something you're not supposed to be doing in the FIRST place and you won't have to worry about getting caught. If you're not doing anything wrong, not breaking any laws, not breaking the terms of your contract, you don't have anything to worry about. Duh.
My goodness, your ignorance and paranoia
are showing. Maybe you should just sit in your chair and do your job and not speculate about things you know nothing about honey.
XQ'ers - that does explain the gross paranoia.
